    How to Become an Expert on Anything
    Jan 26 2025
    In this episode, we discuss the relationship between talent and practice in achieving expertise. Contrary to popular belief, the text argues that the amount and type of practice are far more crucial than innate talent. Research on expert performance across various fields indicates that 10,000 hours of deliberate practice are typically needed to reach expertise. Deliberate practice involves focused attention on improvement, targeted difficulty levels, immediate feedback, and repetition. Finally, the importance of mentorship from an existing expert is emphasized to maximize efficiency and avoid developing inflexible habits.
